Introduction to Testing Graph Properties

Webpage for a survey by Oded Goldreich


Abstract

The aim of this article is to introduce the reader to the study of testing graph properties, while focusing on the main models and issues involved. No attempt is made at providing a comprehensive survey of this study, and specific results are often mentioned merely as illustrations of general themes.
